So, everyone who isn't living under a rock should know that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 is out soon [tomorrow/in a few hours my time]. And, as usual, some people can't watch it [like me], so let's examine what other things you can do in around 2+ hours [though I heard the movie only goes 90 minutes? that can't be right]...

Here's my list of "Alternate things to do coz you can't afford a movie ticket"

[1] Sleep - I hate sleep, but whatevs.
[2] Read - Of course, I'd stay clear of my HP books, lest I want to get depressed.
[3] Get Depressed - Well, someone has to put it out there. Dammit.
[4] Troll - Hey, I'm a Temper, ain't I? So are you.
[5] Write - What I'll probably be doing.
[6] Play games - Eh, we're all gamers here, so...
[7] Get a life - Uh... Nope...
[8] Reply to this blog - I recommend this! [I swear I'm only recommending this to help our fellow Tempers]
[9] Sign my Death Note - Just 'cause.

Anything else I forgot? Anyone there in the same boat I am?

... It seems that I am living under a rock.

I've stopped following the movies after they cut so much stuff out of the Half Blood Prince. First few movies were good, but I lost interest after the Order of the Phoenix. I'd rather read the books.

OR you could read the books and then hope they're better than the actual movie.



Not biting... Nope... 'Course, I ain't a lion, so... [a Gryffindor? LOL]

why not just do what you normally do?


Technically, I don't have things I "normally" do. It's all mostly spur-of-the-moment, for the most part. I don't even have a normal sleep/wake cycle. And my mind has this habit of wandering off to who-the-eff-knows...

I'm not going to HP Deathly Hallows Part 2 until it's out for a week. I love the book/franchise, and I'm pretty confident the last battle is going to be awesome.
(Watching Molly lose her shit and kill Bellatrix will be satisfying, and pretty awesome.)
I liked Part 1 in that the movie didn't want to hold people's hands - the Deathly Hallows is not explained in detail, but enough to go - oh, that's why they are hunting them!

I'm going to be bringing some of my rubber stamps there! HP stamps of the House logos and the Deathly Hallows themselves.

So, this week will be in anticipation of the Deathly Hallows movie and I will be:
- ignoring all reviews of the movie (hard to do, as a friend writes a HP centric blog)
- playing videogames - I've been busy with Touhou DS and SMT Strange Journey
- selling stuff on ebay

Was there ever any doubt in your mind?
